Hi folks, I was wondering if it shouldn t be a good idea for NeXT to deliver their full OS release (extensions included) thru a CD ROM disk, as an "option". Apple is doing this sort of things, and i supposed this is a lot shipper and safer than having all the os on floppy disks (i don teven talk of the benefits in time to load the os, nor the practical aspect of having only one disk). I am not aware of such "proposition" from NeXT yet.am i wrong ? Phil

I am not aware of such "proposition" from NeXT yet.am i wrong ? I expect that something more will come out once NeXT gets their CD ROM drive shipping. At this point, I think it would be premature to announce a CD ROM OS product, because so many people would want it (like myself). scott hess scott@gac.edu Independent NeXT Developer (Stuart) GAC Undergrad (Horrid.
